FAQ
Common questions
Is VisAmerica Solutions part of the U.S. Embassy?
No. We are a private consulting service. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of the U.S. government, the U.S. Embassy Manila, or the U.S. Department of State.
Can you guarantee my visa will be approved?
No. No one can. Visa decisions are made solely by U.S. consular officers. Anyone who guarantees a visa is likely a scam. We provide preparation guidance only.
What is the Readiness Score?
It is an educational self-assessment score out of 100 based on your answers. It is not an approval probability or a prediction of your interview result.
How much is the Readiness Check?
Launch price ₱299 until Dec 31, 2026. The regular price is ₱499.
How does the Readiness Check credit work?
The fee you actually paid is credited. Full Review: ₱9,701 after a ₱299 payment or ₱9,501 after ₱499. Premium: ₱14,701 after ₱299 or ₱14,501 after ₱499. Keep your receipt.
How do I pay?
GCash QR or bank transfer via InstaPay QR. After you pay, screenshot the receipt and send it with your name on Messenger. Results or reviews are released after payment is verified.
Who reviews the Full Review reports?
Ricardo Navalta — former DHS/HSI Attaché, U.S. Embassy Manila (retired; no current U.S. government role). He personally reviews and approves every report before delivery.
Is this legal advice?
No. This is educational preparation guidance, not legal advice and not attorney representation.
Where do I book an official visa appointment?
Only through official channels: travel.state.gov and ustraveldocs.com/ph. We do not schedule embassy appointments.

Refunds and when work starts
Refunds: You can get a full refund only if we have not started any review or work on your case. Once work has started, your payment is non-refundable. To ask for a refund before work starts, message us on Messenger or email [email protected] with your reference code.
Full Review and Premium: Work starts once we confirm, by email or Messenger, that we have received your request and added it to our review queue. You can get a full refund until you receive that confirmation.
Readiness Check: Your score is prepared as soon as we verify your payment, so the Readiness Check is non-refundable once your payment is verified. If you change your mind before we verify it, message us on Messenger with your reference code for a full refund.
Do you handle legal issues?
VisAmerica Solutions offers preparation guidance only, not legal advice or representation. Arrests, convictions, immigration violations or overstays, and removals or deportations should be discussed with a qualified U.S. immigration lawyer. Former DHS/HSI service is career background, not authorization to practise law.
